An anthology of advice and experiences from teen and older women of many identities and origins. The contributors use a variety of forms—letters, poems, essays, self-portraits, and more—to share their thoughts on topics like finding your voice, being resilient, overcoming challenges, and following your passion.
Queer women are unsurprisingly included, including teen queer activist Molly Pinta, teen trans activist Stella Keating, mountaineer and social entrepreneur Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, Olympians and spouses Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh, software engineer and social influencer Miriam Haart (who was featured on Netflix’s My Unorthodox Life), and model and skateboarder Brooklinn Khoury.
Other non-queer contributors include Samantha Barry, Jill Culton, Melinda French Gates, Laurene Powell Jobs, Maria Teresa Kumar, Philomena Kwao, Geetha Murali, Catt Sadler, Randi Zuckerberg, and more. Each person gets about three to four pages of text and photos (with engaging borders and graphic elements), making each contribution reasonably substantial.
Scannable codes let readers listen to bonus audio stories in the Rebel Girls app.
A valuable volume to inspire girls and young women (and perhaps even people of other genders).
